2020 Map of Wagon Mound

About this map

The landmark geologic formation known as The Wagon Mound rises above the plains of Mora County, serving as the namesake for the town of Wagon Mound below. This survey captures the intersection of natural hydrology and human settlement, centered around the seasonal Salt Lake and its surrounding network of water sources, including Big Spring, South Spring, and Coral Spring. The landscape transitions from the flat expanses of Santa Clara Mesa and Jarosa Mesa to the drainage of Apache Canyon in the northwest. Local history is anchored by the presence of three distinct burial sites: Hillside Cem, Santa Clara Cem, and the more remote Mountain View Cem to the north near the settlement of Levy. The detailed street grid of Wagon Mound reveals a town layout built along the railroad, with named thoroughfares like Wood Ave, Railroad Ave, and Fitch St defining the community's core.
